keep as your foundation, is broken off from the first one, and not the first one is broken off from the fourth one.
I speak with you Verginica, and I speak with you, My people, so that the one, who has to hear, may hear. But he does not hear, as neither Israel heard My ordinances upon him; he did not hear, and he broke My commandments one by one, and he called himself „ the Lord’ s people”, the same as those of today, who keep the seventh day and call themselves „ the Lord’ s people” and say that they are „ Adventists”. This name means „ came the second time”, and for these it means that Christ came for the second time; it means His second coming. But how He, Who did not come first, can come the second time?
Oh, you, who hear not hearing! You should know that the people of Israel, which did not recognize that Christ came of the Virgin then, and Who will come, as they say, will be happier; they are happier than you, who say that Christ came then, and that He also came the second time, or that he is coming. I came then and I have come now, and I have been since then and until now, and I am, but I am not for you. I am not for you; I do not want to be for you, those who do not know to understand God, as He tells you to understand. You understand the Lord in vain the way you want to understand. The Lord has to be understood, as He wants, not how it comes to the man to understand Him. Behold, I open My mouth against you, and say: when Israel was sinning and venomous snakes were coming against him and killing his sons by deathly bites, I said to Moses to make a bronze snake. I wanted to stop Israel’ s condemnation and not die any more, and I wanted to make Israel wise, and once with that trial over his power for his sins, I was preparing his salvation from death, and in My compassion I told Moses: « I saw Israel’ s repentance, and the one, who is bitten by a serpent and will look at the bronze snake, will no longer die and will live ». I was the One, Who spoke that a bronze serpent to be made; a serpent, which does not bite, and My word became a sign; it became a serpent, which does not bite against the serpent that bites, and My wrath, through the biting serpents with deadly venom, stopped in Israel, and Israel lived before Me. I was the One, Who saw how the sinful condemned were dying on the cross, and I set myself on the cross to make forgiveness of it, and to give salvation through it, and a way of everlasting life by this sign, which many were dying through. You do not understand the Scriptures and its parables spoken and fulfilled beforehand, as My word, which becomes a good deed so that I may help the man to come to Me and to the repentance by rebuking and forgiveness, My word is not an idol as you say. The cross is not embraced by Me for you to dishonor it, as Israel dishonored it, making of it a means of condemnation, dishonor and humiliation. I made of it a sign of salvation, so that the one, who will look at it and will embrace it as I did, may no longer die, may no longer sin, as the robber on the cross did no longer sin after he was placed on it, and he went into heaven by the cross. I told the robber: « Today you will be with Me in Paradise », and you say that it is nothing of the man who dies before I come the second time. But who told you to misinterpret the Scriptures, which say: « The one who dies will be alive, if he is with Me.»?( See the selection topic: „ About the graven image and the sign of the cross”, r. n.)
When I came first, I came by a Virgin, and you put a bad name on My mother, the Virgin. Oh, if you did not say so, you would not have any chance to make room near Me with your debauchery from the human nature of the fallen man. If My mother, the Virgin, were not been the door, which only I came in and out through, as the Scriptures says, then why do you still say that I am your Christ, Who came at that time for you? How can I still lift your sins, so that you may not do them anymore, if I, as the Son of God, the Father, could not make My mother, the Virgin then, not to sin in her body any more, if you say that she sinned after I was born of her? Could I
